Amazing Blog Award

Many thanks to Life Ramblings for giving me this award.  Her blog is truly amazing, too.  The photos from her travel and daily life experiences make her blog interesting and you can’t just drop by without leaving a comment.  She participates in photo blogging sites like Wordless Wednesday, Photo Hunter, etc.

I would like to pass this award to some amazing blogs to:

Diabetis – he blogs about his being a diabetic patient and how he deals with it everyday. I follow his blog because I know I’d learn something from his experiences. Hubby once thought he was diabetic so Diabetis’ blog might help us with this problem.

S. Pradeep Kumar -  his blog focuses on tech news, blogging tips and tutorials.  He has written guest articles to many tech blogs.  I’m glad to have a future A-blogger like him who leaves comment on this site from time to time.  I am proud and grateful that he recognized me as one of those female commenters on his blog.

Shanker Bakshi -  his blog gives information on how to make money online.  I have known Shanker since the first time I started blogging and it’s amazing how his journey to blogging changes for the better.  He had met and interviewed some A-list bloggers and shared relevant topics on his blog.

Willie -  he shares his expertise in photography.  I really admire his amazing photographs, be it a personal portrait, plants or architecture.  His blog is indeed a photo blog which I recommend if you want to hone your photography skills.

One Lovely Blog Award

Many thanks to Amy of Earnest Parenting for imparting me this award.  Her blog is one lovely blog, too.  A teacher by profession, Amy used to teach at the middle school level.  Her blog is about the parenting journey – the success and failures and funny stories about parenting.

I would like to give this award to the following lovely mother-bloggers:

Amor - has a son whom she loves to blog about.  She designs blog themes on her spare time, in fact, she made this blog’s theme for me.  Amor and I have been virtual friends for four or five years now.

Honney - has also a son and another baby on the way.  She shares her travel experiences and daily rants on her blog, though like me, she could not update her blog regularly.

Maricris - is a mother to her precious daughter.  A creative blogger, she creates and designs stuffs like jewelries, bags and other accessories.  She shares his thoughts, views, discoveries and journey on his blog.

There’s one person I truly missed on this special day.  My best friend and I were supposed to see each other (again) in Davao but the time was hard for her to leave her ailing mother-in-law.  I could have gone myself to her place in Surallah, Cotabato City but it turned out risky to travel down south because of the bombing incidents.  We both knew how we wanted to meet anyhow, but the situation seemed to be out of hand.  There’s nothing we could do but to wait for the next chance.  Until then, Happy Friendship Day to you my dearie friend.

On the other hand, I would like to share this award and dedicate this day to my former work colleagues and friends.  It’s always a pleasure to see you, guys, whenever I’m in Davao.  And the recent gathering was kind of special because of the presence of the one (of the bosses) from Houston, Texas.  Happy Friendship Day!

Where’s Anna?

Smart Blogger award from Ana

Ana says, “because you are my only Scandinavian neighbor and you show the rest of the Filipino communities that by learning the language of your new host country you can be fully integrated into the system and find a job that you love like teaching. I also admire that you teach the Filipino language in Sweden that’s tough. Go girl!! You’re smart because you still find time to acknowledge and visit your blogger friend by commenting in their blog.”

Through these awards, I want to thank Hobo, Joey Logano Fan and Ruchi for the visits and comments. You’re all smart because you visit my blog, hahaa!  But go visit the blogs of these people and you will see how smart they are.  And while you’re there you would say,  let’s be friends, smarty!

It’s my second award for this year.  And I’m on to hit the grand slam before the year ends, hopefully.  Thanks to Rozella of Asian Mutt International for this fabulous blog award.  She’s fabulously celebrating her almost two years of blogging and she can’t help but to thank her blog buddies with this award.  How is that for a celebration, huh.  Instead of treating us with cakes and drinks, she treats us with an award.  I might do the same when I have my blog anniversary soon.

I wish to pass this award to my blogger friend, Amor, who fabulously had her birthday a week ago.  Every birthday is fabulous, right?  And also to my new found blogger buddy, Jules, whose blog features about anything that interests her.

And speaking of fabulous, no matter how many times I use this word in this post didn’t make my night fabulous cos the the Melody Festival’s first contest night ended up with the not-so-fabulous winners.  My favorites, Shirley Clamp and Marie Serneholt (of the A-Teens) did not make it to the final.  This text-voting is, at times, disappointing.  This is why I don’t vote anymore.  Just a waste of money.

I may not have cakes and ice cream to share with you but I have some awards I received from the two valuable blogger-friends that I would like to share instead and perhaps pass on you.  Thanks to Amor and Rozella for these wonderful awards.  You are one of those people who inspire me to blog through all these years.

Award from Amor

Award from Rozella

As my colleagues and I used to joke around on birthdays in a strange English, “you are all invited to eat my house, including my family.”

What could be more exciting than to pass this award to other fantastic blogger around. The winners, according to my intuitive power are the following:

1. Amor – because you are not only a fantastic blogger friend but a fantastic designer as well.  I can “hear” that you’re a fantastic singer, too .

2. Farah – because meeting you in just a short period of time is fantastic and it seems we’re on our way of getting to know each other.  I admire your courage when you stopped a politician’s car and got his autograph .

3. Jessie – because you’re a fantastic writer, your creativity reflects in the way you formulate your thoughts.

4. Sweetiepie – because your sweetness is so fantastic. Your blog is a mixture of interesting posts, from being a housewife and a mommy.

5. Shanker – because you’re a fantastic guru in the blogosphere.  Your readers can always count on your informative and relevant posts.

Together, hand in hand, let’s sing, “we are the champions, my friends”.

Thanks a lot Diwata and Jhari for these awards. We might not be pioneers in blogging but we are learning from each other’s blogs and through this, we become each other’s mentor in one way or another. I heart your blogs too, as you heart mine. If not from blogging, I wouldn’t have learnt to say “I heart…” he he! And how much I love your blogs? Big and huge…

I would like to pass the mentor award to Shanker Bakshi and Jessie Simbulan. You guys have a lot to share in terms of blogging. I love your blogs so much that there’s not a day without a visit…and for sure, drop a card .
